//------------------------------// // Mod Easter Egg // Story: The Captain of Mining // by Raybony //------------------------------// Adjusting his camera lens, Jordan made sure that his face was clearly visible for all the soon spectators for his online stream. Having already open his Minecraft program and loaded his back-up file for his survival modded map, he was ready to start the stream. Sure that everything was set, he pressed the stream button, sending a message to all of his followers as he started. “Alright, what’s up dudes, and welcome, to yet again Jerry’s tree.” He gave a hearty laugh, always enjoying doing this kind of thing. “You may be wondering, why I’m back again after successfully defeating, and conquered all the bosses and obtain their trophies. Well, as someone messaged me about a cool easter egg sort of thing, I decided to show it to you guys. The cool thing about this is that it allow us to go to a secret dimension, that according to it, has a neat challenging boss, so I thought that we may as well do that to truly complete our adventure on Divine RPG.” As he went explaining to the quickly filling watching room, he recalled the message that he had received a couple of days ago, it was from some anonymous guy who sent him a message telling him about the easter egg, as well as seeing some snapshots showing the dimension and the crafting recipe as to how to get there. He was unsure at first, seeing as none of the items seemed to appear on his Too Many Items panel. But after sending a quick message to the Mod’s creators, he was glad to see a response confirming the certainty of the easter egg, but something still told him that this was some kind of joke, but he dismissed the thought as he most likely would laugh at it when he found out. “So as it turns out, this little easter egg has its own recipe, which happens to be one of the portal blocks for Dravite, Azurite, Uvite, Mythril, Augite and Vethea; meaning I will need to get Divine, Dravite, Azurite, Uvite, Mythril and Augite blocks. Plus I need a Rupee and Alremite Block, plus a Nether star. Well, I took the liberty to farm those in advance, that way we can all jump right into the action and face some bosses, that with no doubt kick our asses.” Although he doubt it, when he had his fancy halite armor set, plus with the ability to fly from his angelic armour bug, he was sure to avoid most of any attacks that he may be thrown. And although he had his Jerry sword, he wanted to give the viewers an interesting battle. “So without further ado, lets get to build-” He was abruptly interrupted by another of the pesky Dramcryx that seemed to inhabit his house/memorial tree. “No, no, stop it. Nobody likes you so just go.” He said in a bemused way as he just one hit it with the Jerry sword, making it spill gold coins and a jungle shard. “They really can’t have enough of Jerry can they?” In the chat room, people were spamming responses left to right, about how true it was, and of reminders of the deceased slime, Jerry. “Now then, before we were interrupted, I was about to embark on an epic last battle of awesomeness!” Going through the chests, he started gathering all the other items that he needed to make the special item. “Now lets see, we put the Nether star in the middle, we put the rupee block on top and the alremite underneath. And now we put these three here.” Said as he put the Uvite, Mythril and Augite on the left side from top to bottom. “And now these three over here.” He did the same for the Divine, Dravite and Azurite stone; as he put them on the right side from top to bottom. “Annnnd, nothing?” He looked at the right crafting slot where the supposed item was suppose to appear. On the chat, everyone was asking questions as if this was some kind of joke, or was there some kind of bug? Until a few comments said something. Maybe you put them inversed like your bow? or Jordan, try put it them in reverse, you may have place them wrong. Jordan mentally facepalm himself, forgetting how to correctly place the blocks like the message showed him. “dang it, I always do this kind of thing don’t I?” Switching the blocks around, he tried to make a plan as to what he would do when he faced the boss. As soon as the last block was switched, the crafting slot showed a little amulet sort of things, with five gemstones going around it, ranging from yellow, orange, cyan, purple and grey; with the middle being a black stone. All held together in a frame of what he assumed was made of Rupee and Alremite. Hovering his mouse on top of it, the game readed the item as, DisHarmony Stone? Now why does that sound familiar? He didn’t notice, but on the chat people were spamming message after message, all saying the same thing. OMG! MLP Easter Egg?! - Oh God, Are we fighting a MLP villain? - MLP + Minecraft = Awesome!. But as those message came, the hate comments followed. NOOOOOOO, Now minecraft is ruined! - Why? Why did this happen? - I think I will never see the Captain the same way again. Jordan ignored this, not really sure what were they talking about, and decided to just continue with the livestream. “So now that we got our little trinkle, I think it is time for us to embark, on one last adventure. So the way this works, is the same as the Horde Horn of , so in order for us to get there, we have to hold down the right button to activate it.” Moving into his quarters he looked back towards his little buddies that he had manage to collect over the time playing the game. “So before we set out, I think we should give a little goodbye to Kerry and Mary, and also to Gary, who is inside of a chest, because, he likes dark places.” He laughed heartily at his own joke, hoping it was as funny to his viewers. “So anyways, I think I have stalled long enough, so let’s play.” Getting out, he took out The Disharmony Stone and got ready to activate it. When he pressed it, he suddenly had a tingly feeling across his body, as well as he felt light headed. Releasing pressure from the mouse, he shook his head making the feel go away. Well that was strange. Ignoring it, he went and pressed the button again, this time holding it down as the feeling returned. On the screen, the whole picture was becoming brighter, making it harder to see what was going on, even the livestream was being affected, as the people started to write, asking what was going on, Jordan couldn't do anything, the pressure holding the button never ceasing as he kept pressing it. Soon he started to feel drowsy, feeling as sleep was slowly taking over him, until everything went black for him and with it, the livestream ended, leaving hundreds of viewers confused and worried. In Ponyville, a few hours prior. The Sun shone bright on the sky, radiating its warmth light over the land under. Ponies were out and about, doing their own thing. Inside a tree, a lavender alicorn with a purple mane, with a pink stripe, was working on a machine that was hooked to a creature which seemed to be made off from different animal parts. To the side stood a yellow pegasus, who seemed a bit nervous about the whole set up. “Umm...Twilight...Ar-are you sure this is safe? I’m not too sure we should do this.” The lavender alicorn, who was Twilight, looked back to her friend, giving her a reassuring smile. “Of course it’s safe. I only testing Discord’s structural magic as to find out more about it. Just think what we could be able to achieve if we were able to manipulate it.” “I don’t think that would be wise Twilight. And can we hurry up with this? I rather be doing something else than being stuck here, playing as a test subject.” Discord said as he grumbled a bit, fidgeting with the colander hat on top of him, which served as a magic and brain activity reader. “Don’t worry Discord. I’m sure Twilight won’t take long. Won’t you Twilight?” Twilight gave a nod, giving a reassuring smile. “Of course, It’s just a quick scan. If I wanted to analyse his magika pool and his magika outlet, those would take some time before I could understand the anatomy and biology that makes them different from ponies.” “Urrgh, alright. But make it quick, I still don’t like having myself hooked up to this machine.” He grumbled, as he sat back against some invisible seat in the air. “Great, now let me just make the final adjustments.” She fiddled with the control panel that was connected to the main machine. “Alright, here we go.” She pulled a lever down, making the machine come to life as lights came on, and data started to pour out from the side. “Feels weird, should I be feeling a tingling on my head?” Discord asked, as he brought his tail to the ear, and proceeded to clean the inside of his head. “Not really, but it may be the magik analyzer that is doing it, seeing as it was designed to work on ponies, not Draconequus. So it may just be reacting to your magic.” She said as she proceeded to check the results. Well this is intriguing. It seems like he has two sets of magics instead of one, could explain why it’s so different from normal magic. In the meantime, the machine continued to work, but it was now glowing a bright green, which seemed to be coming from the helmet that Discord was wearing. Neither of the two seemed to pay attention, except for Fluttershy. “Umm...T-Twilight? Should it be d-doing that?” Her question fell to deaf ears, as Twilight was looking at the now strange reading of the machine, and Discord was distracting himself by playing with a paddle-ball. “Umm guys?” This is weird, one of the energy sets seems to be dissipating from the rest, like it was being replaced or transferred. She wasn’t sure what it meant, but knowing Discord, it could be something normal to him. “Discord, is it normal for you to hav-” She stopped once she noticed the weird green glow coming from the machine. “You were saying something?” Discord turn around to face the ponies, only to look in shock at the machine, recognizing the green glow. “Twilight! What the hay are you doing?” “I’m not doing anything. I just saw started acting like this. Wait, does this have anything to do with the missing second set of magika?” She asked as she started to move buttons and levers, in the hope to stop her machine. “Missing?! But that can only mean-” “Oh Discord~” Came a sing song female voice from the machine, the glow intensifying every moment. Fluttershy was now shaking in terror at what was going, hiding behind her friend for comfort. “W-who is that? She sounds scary.” “So this is the little one that made you into a big softy? Pathetic!” The voice came again, malicious on her tone. “I knew you could never rule Equestria, if you had left me do it my way, we would have had it a long time ago!” “If we had done it your way, there would be destruction, not chaos. You weren’t fit to rule under our species name.” Discord yelled, feeling rage building up inside of him. “Discord, who is that? How do you know her?” Twilight asked, looking at the machine which remained the same for some time now. “You didn’t tell them about me Dis? That hurts, but I don’t have time for you, I have plans of my own. But first, I think I’ll take a few things with me.” The green light traveled out of the machine and towards the others, hitting Discord on the chest as he screamed from pain. “Discord!” Fluttershy screamed in terror seeing her friend in pain, she turn around and started flying towards the machine to break it apart. But she was stopped by a pink magic aura enveloping her. “Fluttershy, stop, we don’t know what would happen if you touched it.” “Oh don’t worry, I’ll get you two another time.” The light hitting Discord faded, making him drop to the ground weak and in pain. “All I wanted was his power, and now, for the elements.” The voice said as the energy extended again towards the crystal showcase which held the Elements of Harmony. “No, you won’t.” Discord said as he used his own magic in the form of a light like the other one. Both lights reached each other as they touched the elements, the energy merged together, creating an orb of energy, increasing in size as they continue to collide. “Stop it you fool! Don’t you know what happens when we combine Chaotic energies?!” The voice shouted as the ball of energy continued to grow. Until it exploded in a burst of magic that shook the whole place, making books to fall off the shelves. When it all cleared down, where the elements once stood, the only thing that remained was the shattered crystal that was once the showcase. The light from the machine now gone as the machine itself seemed to have blown up into pieces. “Discord! What have you done?” Twilight asked in shocked, not sure to be glad or mad at Discord for what he did. “I’m not quite sure myself, but that took a lot out of me than normal, she took more energy than I thought.” He said as he rested his head on the floor, recovering from the event that just transpired. “Umm Discord, what did you do? And what happened to the elements? And what happened, to whoever that was?” Fluttershy said with a bit of fear in her voice, just starting to calm down after what happened. Discord looked at her with a small frown on his face, he then answer. “I don’t know. I truly do not know.” An hour had passed and the rest of the gang had gathered around to discuss the situation at hand. “I say that we go out there and find whoever did this, and kick their flanks.” Said a cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane said, who was hovering in the air as she was ready for some action. “Rainbow we don’ even have a darn idea as to what we are dealin’ with, and ya want to just straight go to nowhere, hopin’ to find something” An orange earth pony with a blond mane tied up into a ponytail (No pun intended) with a matching set for her tail, and a stetson hat said with a disapproving tone to her friend. “I agree with Applejack here darling, we need to think of a plan as to find out how this ruffian managed to get away, especially since it has our elements.” A white unicorn mare with a royal purple mane, done up in a stylish fashion said. “That’s the problem Rarity” This time it was Twilight’s turn to talk. “We know how she got away, we don’t know how to find her. According to Discord when he crossed chaotic energies, anything could happen. She could have been teleported through time and space, maybe killed or-” “Or maybe she got send to another dimension which is connected to another dimension. where she is some kind of boss battle and the only way to get there is by doing a set of challenges of sorts to get there.” Said a pink earth pony with a puffy pink mane, she seemed to be high on sugar or something, as she was jumping around as she walked. Everyone just stared at her for a second, then just shrugged it off as something normal to her behaviour. “Even what Pinkie said. But the point is, is that we have no idea what we are suppose to do.” As if the universe was waiting those words to be spoken, there was a large thunder inside the library, shaking the whole building as a bright light started forming. Outside of the library, a huge wave of magic traveled across the land, passing through the ground and fauna. Deep underground, crystals started to glow as they were change into new ones. And inside dark caves and underground, the shadows started moving making shapes which started moving. Back in the library, the light kept on shining brighter and brighter, everyone on the room had to shield their face as the light hurt to look. After a few minutes, the light started to dim, letting the shape of someone laying on the ground be visible. When the light finally died down, the girls dare to look at the form of the creature. To anyone inexperienced to the especies before, one would think it was some kind of minotaur. But to Twilight, she knew what this creature was. A human?! How did it get here? Inspecting it further, she managed to determine it as a male. Seeing as it lack breast on it’s chest, and the face resembled one of a male, she started to see the rest of it’s body. He had a light brown skin and had dark hair, he had a large amount of facial hair, but seemed to be trimmed down. It wore a white t-shirt which was unbuttoned a bit on the top, a black tuxedo came with the t-shirt like a set of clothes. He wore a set of dark pants which were hald firm around the waist by a black belt with a large silver buckle. He wore a pair of leather shoes with a white patch at the back, which went well with the rest of the clothes. Looking back at his face, she noted the thin set of sunglasses, which were far too small to cover his eyes, which made her think it was just for looks. Suddenly the human started to move a bit, telling her that it was coming back into consciousness. It started to rise slowly off his back, opening his eyes to reveal a set of dark azure eyes. “God damn it, did anyone get the number of the bus that hit me?” It spoke with a soft silvery tone as it started to look around, his eyes fell on the girls which he reacted by opening his eyes wide as he was able to. The two different parties just stared at each other, neither one daring to say a word. After minutes of dead silence, Twilight decided that the best course of action was to talk to this human, hoping it wouldn’t freak out too much. “H-hello there. My name is Twilight Sparkle. What’s yours?” She tried to give a reassuring smile, in hopes of calming down the human. He just stared, not able to make an intelligent response, which ended up with a “Oh shenanigans.” He said before draping back onto his back, going back into unconsciousness. The force of the fall made an object fall out from his shirt, which made Twilight look at it in shock. On the floor, lay an amulet resembling the symbol of the elements of harmony.
